RE: [gentoo-user] managing shared distfiles

I have much the same problem, but don't know how to handle it. I saw a script on the forums for handling this, but it seemed that this was intended for use on only one machine. With differing packages installed on different machines, the problem seems (to me) insurmountable. I hope somebody el

RE: [gentoo-user] configuration utility?
